I was an undrafted free agent when I entered the league, but I knew how the league worked — one day you could be there and the next, you couldn’t. I surrounded myself out of the gate with people who were doing better than I was on the business side of things, and met others who were successful in business.
I did my best to learn from them and get a glimpse of what things are like as an entrepreneur or a businessman. I took measures early on to set the table for what was going to happen after I left the league.
